Welcome to EmpowHER. It's unclear what can cause the spike in blood pressure. But it's believed caffeine can blocks a hormone that helps keep your arteries widened. Caffeine does not have a long effect on the blood pressure. Things you can do, try decreasing the amount of caffeine a day. If you do plan on cutting back, do so gradually to avoid headaches symptoms. Hope this helps?
